Here are five ways to start expanding your identity so you can become the person who naturally creates the life you desire.

1. Know Who You’ re Becoming

You can’ t intentionally create a new reality if you don’ t know where you’ re headed. Most people spend all their time thinking about what they want- a thriving business, financial freedom, a loving relationship, more confidence.
But they rarely stop to ask the more important question:
Who do I need to become to naturally create that life?
EXERCISE: Close your eyes and imagine that you’ ve already become her by stepping into the vision of already being her. These reflective questions will support you.
How does she carry herself? What does she believe about herself?
How does she respond when things don’ t go as planned?
How does she spend her time? What standards has she set?
This isn’ t about pretending to be someone you’ re not. It’ s about intentionally creating the person you’ re becoming. And that’ s one of the most empowering realizations you’ ll ever have. You are not waiting to discover who you are.
You are creating her.

2. Expand What’ s Possible for You

One of the biggest obstacles to manifestation isn’ t a lack of ability. It’ s a lack of permission. Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing we needed to be realistic.
Maybe you’ ve caught yourself thinking some of these limiting thoughts:
Don’ t dream too big. Don’ t ask for too much. Be grateful for what you have. Play it safe.
But what if the only thing standing between you and the life you desire is the size of the vision you’ ve allowed yourself to hold? Your future isn’ t limited by your past. It’ s limited only by what you believe is possible for you.
